Antisemitic Attack on Moscow Metro

(December 3, 2008)

Three neo-Nazis attacked a Jewish man on the Moscow metro, according
to a November 27, 2008 article in the national daily "Novye
Izvestiya." On November 22, three skinheads approached Mikhail
Altshuler, a well known musician, and attacked him while screaming
nationalistic slogans. Police detained two under-aged suspects, one
of whom has a criminal record. It isn't clear yet if the suspects
will be charged under hate crimes statutes.
